image thread: rollei 40/2.8 sonnar

[back alley]

how about an image thread for the rollei 40 sonnar lens?
anyone interested in posting images here?

i have some posted in the rd1 section but i am sure that not everyone who has this lens uses an rd1.

can we give it a shot?

Actually both answers are correct. The 35RF Sonnar is a modern improved version of the original 70's one from the compact Rollei 35. However this modern version originated on the later Rollei 35 series that have the hotshoe on top and cost a fortune. This accounts for the confusion why you get both yes and no answers. No its not identical to the 70's Sonnar but yes its from a Rollei 35 but the later version that are pretty much collectables.

Is the 38mm Zeiss Sonnar on a Contax T2 very similar?
